Adopting a Australian Terrier

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Australian Terrier - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

You can adopt an Australian Terrier at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost to adopt an Australian Terrier is typically $50 to $300, which covers the expenses of caring for your new buddy before adoption. The adoption fee usually includes an initial medical exam, parasite prevention and treatment, spay/neuter, microchipping, and vaccines.

In contrast, buying Australian Terriers from breeders can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they can cost $1,000 to $1,800.

The easiest way to adopt an Australian Terrier is through a rescue that specializes in Australian Terriers or a small-breed rescue. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Australian Terriers in your area.

Australian Terrier fun facts

Fun Facts:

The Australian Terrier was first shown in 1862 with the rather cumbersome name "Rough-Coated Terrier with Blackish-Blue Sheen Body, Tan Face and Legs."

The Australian Terrier was the first Australian breed to be shown not only in Australia, but elsewhere in the world.

Australian Terriers are capable of jumping straight up off the ground, a hunting muscle-memory wired into them from living on a landscape ridden with snakes.
